My iPhone 3G is stuck in the loading reformat screen?

I tried reformatting my Iphone through the settings erase all contents and settings. Then it went to a loading screen ( round thing that spins ) it's been like that for 7 hours already. Is this natural or it hung?

That is definitely not natural even if you did have alot of content on the device.
I suggest to try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- when the apple logo appears release both buttons
If that fails to resolve the issue you may need to try a restore via recovery mode. The article beloiw will help guide you on how to do this:

Try a reset. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

I dont want to restore it again. iTunes recognises my phone but it blocks when it´s plugged.

Is your iPhone Jailbroken ?

My iphone 4 is stuck on the battery charge screen.

Hi all,
my iphone 4 ran down to low power, I plugged it in to charge but it didn't. Now it is on the battery screen, and it won't charge, I've had it plugged in for hours, the laptop won't recognise it, I put it into DFU mode and was able to resore it but after it restored it was still stuck on the battery screen. Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Can you describe more about what happens when you put the device into DFU? Like after a force restore, are you getting any errors in iTunes?
Always check and make sure everything is up to date. Your iTunes, OS, Firewall, etc.
That being said, is there Any possibility of trying DFU on a different computer? I think it's safe to say this is a software bug in the device and not in the computer. Try getting a different .ipsw from somewhere on the internet rather than depend on Apple to provide you theirs. Google "iOS 5.0.1 .ipsw" and force an install (in DFU mode) by clicking Restore while holding down Shift (Mac) or Alt (Windows).
Worse case scenario is that you have to contact Apple about all of this.

My iPhone 4 is stuck on the apple logo screen, help!

I tryed deleting some of my most used apps, and as I was re-installing one it was taking forever so i decided to reset it by holding down the lock and home button at the same time. It's been sitting on the apple logo screen for almost an hour now and plugging it into itunes or plugging it into the charger hasn't done anything for me. I've also tryed restarting it again but it still hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

Try restoring. I'm guessing you may have trouble doing this, so see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My IPhone is now stuck on the loading screen and keeps blinking. I dont know if this is because of the new update but is there anyway I can fix it?

Yes can someone please HELP!!

Try plugging it up to your computer and launching iTunes and either resetting it to factory settings or resetting to last sync. Hopefully it just noticing it's plugged up to iTunes will fix it. This happened to my friend once and all she had to do was plug it into her computer and that fixed it.

My iphone 5 is stuck at the dead battery screen

recently my iPhone has been randomly shutting off. it would charge very fast then die. using my iPhone regularly i cant go a day without it dying at least 2 times a day. today (4/17/15) it went from 59% to 1% skipping the 20%low battery screen and the 10% and just died. I went to plug it in and left it there and its been charging for about 2 or 3 hours and nothings happening. when i click any buttons it shows the dead or empty battery screen. so i don't think its completely gone but it wont turn on. if anyone can help or anything i would appreciate it. thank you.

Try resetting by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until it turns off ignoring the slide to power down. You probably won't see that if yours is stuck.

Can you reset the phone by holding the on/off switch and home button down until your phone reboots and the Apple logo again displays?
